SOLD OUT. WE’RE
SORRY, NO WALK INS.
During our everyday operations at our Zoo, we frequently use crates to transport our animals from one location to another. Medical procedures require a visit to our clinic; habitat relocation is occasionally required. As you can imagine, our crates go through a lot of wear and tear. Following a recent inspection of our inventory, we have determined we need to replenish some of our supply.
This is where you come in, our friends of the Zoo! If you have crates you are no longer using or need, we would love to put them to good use here at our Zoo. You can donate your gently used crates, or if you prefer to purchase a new one for us, you can drop them off right outside our Gift Shop on the picnic tables.
Crates of all sizes are appreciated. We will be more than happy to give you a donation receipt.
